Reina Ferrufino
I decided to do operation blackout in a series of three days; I found it very difficuly to adapt to this assignment since I felt the need of using telecommunication constantly. In the course of this weekend, I found Thursday to be the hardest because I was in Berkeley away from my family whom I communicate often with throughout the day. Friday and Saturday were much easier because I went to visit my family and, thus, this made time go by extremely quickly. Not using my cellphone was an easy task, however, not using the Internet was by the far the hardest telecommunication to give up.I usually like browsing the Internet to shop online, watch tv shows and movies, and communicate with my friends-- I heavily rely on this form of telecommunication making it a difficult process not to use it for a course of eighteen hours. I was unable to do this assignment on certain days of the week because in my work using the Internet is a part of the daily activities. I feel people did realize my absence in facebook, there were a few friends asking, “Where is Reina?” This is because we usually respond quickly to each other and participate in a form of group response. Before College, I used to camp often and could go through several days without using forms of telecommunication. I realized that in the past I would have found this assignment a breeze, nonetheless this weekend was a challenge. I feel that as college students we heavily rely on telecommunications, I experienced by firsthand the reliability we have on them this weekend.
